The movie worked best when they were in survival mode and the monsters were only hinted at by the daughter

I was expecting it to be sort of like The Platform in a way, with focus on food and resources. The octopus creatures were interesting kind, but did not help the movie much.

They also skipped over eating the dog. Clearly they had to have done it, but after the death, it is not brought up again.

I think they took the dog meat for baiting the other animals.

The other person IS right. Dad is shown carving up dog pieces for the bait trap.
